Multiple python versions

[nilp0inter]

Hi!

We have a mixed environment where python 2 and python 3 are used at the same time.

We did a try declaring the class twice, but we get this error:

Duplicate declaration: Class[Python] is already declared in file ...

And also we tried to declare the python class passing a list of versions:

   class { 'python':
        version => ['2.7', '3.4'],
        pip => true,
        dev => true,
        virtualenv => true,
        gunicorn => false,
    }

But it did not help.

So my question is: It is possible to use this module for provide multiple versions of python at the same time?

Thank you!

I am trying to achieve this too. Do you have any tips on how you managed this in the end?

Maybe it's better to just use pyenv? I think that managing multiple python versions could be difficult (I guess) and you will end up with only one major version of each python (eg. you can't have 3.3 and 3.4 at the same time - at least without some custom compilation params).

If you are interested in using it with puppet, maybe pyenv-puppet (I didn't test it yet) could help.
